Hi

Follow these steps to erase your locked Apple Watch and re-pair it with a replacement iPhone:

Connect your watch to its charging cable, connected to power.
Whilst keeping your Apple Watch on the charger:
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
- Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
Pair your watch using the Watch app on your replacement iPhone, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.
More information:
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
- If you forgot your Apple Watch passcode - Apple Support

Be sure to also follow the instructions here in respect of your lost iPhone:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

Restore Apple Watch

If Apple Watch is disabled because you forgot your passcode or entered an incorrect passcode too many times, you can use the Apple Watch app on iPhone to allow you to enter the passcode again. If you still can’t remember your passcode, you can restore Apple Watch and reset the passcode. Restoring erases the content and settings on Apple Watch, but uses a backup to replace your data and settings. For more information, see Update Apple Watch software, below.

Important: If Erase Data is turned on, the data on your Apple Watch is erased after 10 failed passcode attempts.
